I was very happy yesterday, a heavy duty forklift in great condition
that I bought for very little.


My son got a 15,000 hyster for the exact same price last year. But it
only had four foot forks. six foot forks, used, cost another $1500.

Not much demand for an old large fork lift.

BUT VERY HANDY when you need it.

Six foot forks are not enough for me. I have 8 foot forks that I will
put on it. I also disagree on saleability of this forklift, I think
that just about anyone who has a big gravel yard with equipment needs
something like this forklift.

I already have 2 15,000 forklifts so not sure if I need the third
one. A lot of variables need to be considered and I am still
deciding. I wanted to expand my business somewhat in the coming
months.

Did not know you could even get eight foot forks. we made ten foot
extensions for ours. Bet eight foot forks are worth more than the
truck.

I guess location in the country greatly effects value. 5000 lb size
with single front tires brings good money, the larger trucks - not so
much. Too few need them compared to supply.
